New Honda Amaze 2018 Design Changes
The new amaze has adopted a new sharper design theme in conjunction with its elder sibling i.e. the Honda City. The new car features sharper headlamps neatly aligning with the new front grille that is identical to that of the Honda City. The top variants can offer LED headlights while the lower variants will continue with the conventional halogen bulb. The redesigned front bumper houses a more compact air intake. The outer arches on the bumper add to the shaper design theme and the aerodynamic design will aid better airflow around the vehicle.
The side body of the new 2018 Honda Amaze looks identical to that of the current model but you can expect a few changes in the final iteration of the version to be launched early next year. Since this is an “all-new” model, it will feature revised interiors as well and will take cues from it’s elder sibling in terms of touchscreen infotainment screen on the dashboard, touch-enabled air-con controls and blue backlit instrument cluster. These features, however, will only be featured in the top end variant.

We expect Honda to fine tune the engines to deliver more refinement and efficiency but no major changes in terms of mechanical parts.
